Getting your dog checked out by the vet is not good enough -- she has to be health certified by certain foundations. Poodles need to be CERF tested and cardio tested (OFA). The vet's certification does not tell you whether or not your dog does not carry the specific genetic disorders found in the poodle. You could pass these traits on to the pups. Also, you should definatly not be breeding unless your dog is pedigreed. Being a dog groomer I hear horror stories quite often. One involved two people breeding their golden retrievers, only to find out later that the dogs were half brother and sister to a father with a terrible temperment. Seeing as it's a linebreeding, the pups of the brother and sister inhreited their gradsire's temperment. They were all aggressive, shy, etc. Your dog should also be involved in conformation, and something else that shows that your dog is a good example of the breed. Obedience, agility, flyball, etc. And then you must find a male that will not only have these qualifications as well, but be perfect for your dog. I hope you realise that breeding takes alot of time and dedication, and is very very very expensive. If you are willing to do all of these things in order to protect your breed, then good for you!
